The big reason for insolvency of USPS is that 1/3 of the money they garner goes back into the Federal General Fund.

"Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) demanded USPS produce a turnaround plan by July that would save the Postal Service."

You can produce all the "turn around plans" that you like, but with 1/3 of all your revenues being sucked away, you are going to fail.

Nice going, Fed.

“The big reason for insolvency of USPS is that 1/3 of the money they garner goes back into the Federal General Fund.”

I’ve never heard that claim before.

I do know that beginning in the Bush 43 years Congress required the USPS to pre-fund all of its estimated future retirement and health care liabilities, which is a huge expense. No other government agency or private business is required to do this.
